+# logdiag
+
+logdiag is a schematic editor written in GTK+. It focuses on simplicity,  
+usability and openness.  
+
+## Requirements
+
+Runtime dependencies:  
+
+ - GTK+ >= 2.12
+ - json-glib >= 0.10
+ - lua = 5.1
+
+Build dependencies:  
+
+ - CMake >= 2.6
+
+## Installation on Unix-like systems
+
+First check that you have all the required dependencies installed.  
+
+Reserve a directory for an out-of-source build:  
+    $ mkdir build
+    $ cd build
+
+Let CMake prepare the build. You may change the directory where you want  
+the application to be installed. The default is _/usr/local_.  
+	$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
+
+Now you have two basic choices of installing the application:  
+
+1. Using _make install_:
+       # make install
+
+2. Using _cpack_; you have to choose a package format understood by your  
+   system package manager. CMake offers DEB and RPM.  
+
+   After _cpack_ finishes making the package, install this file.  
+       $ cpack -G DEB
+       # dpkg -i logdiag-0.0-Linux-x86_64.deb
+
